Cornerstone Community Church Vodcast

Leadership and church hurt seems to be the new buzzword in Christendom. But hurts are not new, and are a part of our lives as a result of being an imperfect people. Sometimes, the greatest hurts are caused by the community of faith we belong to and yet the paradox is that is where we find our deepest healing. In this message, Dr. Gayle Claxton shares how we can deal with hurts and walk in wholenes...

The Word of God tells us that every child of God overcomes the world. Jesus gives us a clue on how to do so in John 3:8, “The wind blows where it wishes, and you hear the sound of it, but cannot tell where it comes from and where it goes. So is everyone who is born of the Spirit.” Understanding this profound statement is one of the keys to overcoming the evil one and his influence.

God has no idea what it means to be in shortage. He doesn’t know anything about being stingy or having measly portions. If you could begin to understand this, you’d never come short because of the unlimited supply of God’s Kingdom! Join us as we embark on this new series on ‘Biblical Economics & Kingdom Stewardship’.

Having a solid foundation in Christ is the key to enduring life’s challenges. By anchoring our personal lives, families, and church in God’s truth, we establish an unwavering base for strength, unity, and purpose.

Ephesians 6:13 speaks of the Armour of God that every believer must don to fight our daily spiritual battles. The sandals is a reminder that as we walk with God, His peace that passes all understanding will go with us. Beyond that, we’re to also bring that Gospel of peace to those around us.

John says in 1 John 5:19, “We know that we are of God, and the WHOLE world lies under the sway of the wicked one.” What’s the thing we know? We know we’re of God – that we belong to Him. What’s it that the world doesn’t know? They don’t know they belong to the wicked one. The whole world is under the sway of the devil; it’s bipolar and divided into two camps – those who belong to God and those who...

In our Parenting Weekend series, Deacon Calvin and Diane share their take and takeaways as parents of four growing teens and challenge some of the common societal beliefs of bringing up kids. Whether you’re navigating biological parenthood, are a parent-to-be, spiritual parent or simply enjoying the bliss of singlehood, here’s some Parental Guidance that might come in handy!

There’s a huge difference between singing and anointed worship; between motivational speaking and anointed preaching. A gift will fill the room, but the anointing will break the yoke of bondage. Even in the marketplace, in your business, and at work, it’s the anointing that makes the difference. I’ve discovered that the anointing of the Lord isn’t just the empowerment for service, but it also come...

The whole idea of being ‘chosen’ does not originate from us, but God. Long before time began, He had already written upon His heart the names of His elect. Jesus said in John 15:16, “You have not chosen Me, but I have chosen you and ordained you…” He chose us out of this world. I did not choose Him, He chose me. I didn’t choose this life, it chose me. I didn’t love Him first, He did. So how do we...

Many believers who have received salvation are still unknowingly plagued by the enemy’s claims upon their lives and family. These can be traced to generational curses and bloodline issues that hinder our spiritual progress and destiny. By approaching the Courts of Heaven, we can address these accusations from the enemy, legally cancel the effects of bloodline curses, and be set free to receive God...

Ephesians 5:15-18 is an exhortation for us to walk wisely, especially since we're living in the last days. We must all the more be mindful of the snares and cares of this world that will waylay us and cause us to not finish our race well. 

Despite the grave mistakes and sins King David committed, God personally testified that he was ‘a man after His own heart, who will do all His will’. How is that even possible? There must be something about David’s heart posture that endeared him to God and that gives us hope. If David can be a man after God’s own heart, so can you.

Malachi 3:10 is the biblical command for us to pay back what belongs to God. Tithing is not a suggestion or an option, but a command for every believer. It comes from a truly grateful heart and opens up the windows of God’s blessings on our lives.

God is attracted to hunger in us. If we desire to see the miraculous, we need to be spiritually hungry and become desperate for Him. Each time God wants to do something on earth, He first brings the Church on her knees. Prayer births revival and revival begins in us. 

The Church is more than just a place to gather – it’s called to be a Warring Army, a Worshipping Bride, and a Working Body. From David’s journey through Adullam, Ziklag, and Hebron, we see 3 stages of growth and purpose the Church is called to. Each represents different aspects of God’s calling for us. When we commit to giving and serving, God empowers us with His anointing. What kind of Church ar...

1 Peter 5:10-11 reminds us that God’s grace strengthens and restores us through every season of life. His grace brings mercy and rest, not to hold us back, but to refresh us for the journey ahead. When the time comes, we’ll be fully prepared to move forward in His purposes.

Psalm 29:9 declares, ‘The voice of the Lord causes the deer to give birth.’ The voice of the Lord is a powerful and creative River of Life. It is the Person of the Holy Spirit Himself and that same Spirit that raised Christ from the dead dwells in us. Like Aaron’s rod that budded again, we too have a supernatural root that calls the dead back to life. Is there barrenness in your life? Take heart a...

Leprosy is the scourge of any society as it was in Jesus’ time. But instead of avoiding them, Jesus touched and healed the lepers. He is calling His Church to go to the lepers. Christ in us, the Hope of Glory, wants to heal the spiritual leprosy in the Church and in our world. Don’t allow fear to hold us back.

One of my favourite classes in school was the one where our teacher would dish out exam tips just before examination. In the ‘exam of life’ that we’re taking, Jesus has also given us some tips on what to focus on and the accompanying grace to finish well. It’s found in the Book of Revelation which we will explore together this weekend.

Serving God is not about simply performing a religious duty. It's about allowing His Spirit to empower us to do His works. It starts by thinking beyond ourselves and our own agendas, and letting the Holy Spirit energise us to be His light and salt to those around us.  

All the things that the devil gained at the forbidden tree; Jesus regained at Calvary. God planted many trees in the Garden of Eden and each had its unique purpose. But only two were named for their great importance and challenged the course of the entire human race – the Tree of Life and the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil. Throughout our lives, we’ll have to choose from which tree we want...

God’s love is transformational and who He is fundamentally. But most of all, His love is personal. When His love goes beyond a concept and becomes a companion in our hearts, it transforms the way we relate to the world around us. If fear could have a fear, it would be us coming to a personal understanding of God’s great love for us.

We read in Scripture that each man must bear his own sin. Our sin is personal. A father shall not bear the sins of his children, and neither are children responsible for the sins of their father. Iniquities, however, are inherited and generations of descendants later, our offspring can still suffer its consequences. So how do we break generational curses in our bloodline, and ensure they are not p...

There’s a  profound significance of Jesus' blood for the atonement for sins, forgiveness, and spiritual renewal. Everything in the Christian faith is anchored on this and as we embrace the power in His blood, we experience a deeper connection with God and true transformation in our lives.

Many of us speak of success in terms of the measure of the world. Flourishing, in contrast, is a state of thriving, of doing and living well. What does God promise us when we follow Him - a successful or a flourishing life? How can we ensure that we don't just go unthinkingly with the world's idea of success?
